The world s oldest skydiver

06-10-2023 15:00

Dorothy Hoffner from Chicago, the United States, will celebrate her 105th birthday soon. Recently, she jumped from an airplane with a parachute, and she described it as a wonderful and delightful experience.

But here comes the thing, Hoffner plans other adventures. Despite her age, she’s already looking forward to her next thrill. She’s considering a ride in a hot air balloon, which is something she never tried before.

Hoffner is brave and curious, and she could be an inspiration to all of us. She proves that age is just a number and we are never too old to fulfill our dreams.

Difficult words: delightful (enjoyable), thrill (a sudden exciting or pleasant feeling), inspiration (someone or something what gives you ideas for doing something).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What dream do you have that you are determined to fulfill no matter your age?
